4 Trufoam Genesis

The TFG4 is the first Genesis paddle I could play a full session with. The earlier Genesis lineup landed in the 120s on swing weight, which meant my shoulder was done by the third game. The 4 finally drops it into a workable range. Lighter, faster through the slot, easier to reset when points get scrambly. The foam-core feel is still there — dense, connected, soft on contact — but now you can flick and counter instead of just bracing. Best one in the original Genesis line by a stretch.
